Protests over Female Motorist’s harassment in Kenya

Kenyans in the capital, Nairobi, are holding a peaceful protest over the ‘sexual harassment’ of a female motorist by motorcycle taxi operators.

A video of the “operators stripping down the motorist as she screamed for help was shared online, eliciting public outrage.”

Police arrested 16 operators in connection over the incident.

A Tuesday morning crackdown has also seen some other 200 motorcycle taxi operators arrested for flouting regulations.

The protesters, led by civil society groups, have been calling for justice.
